Over a decade ago, I got listeria poisoning. Since then my digestive system has been a wee bit off kilter. When I eat the wrong things, or I don't eat things in the right combination, I get severe stomach upsets that can last days.
It's beyond painful, and absolutely debilitating.
Now Pixie is an under your skin kind of dog, but Sabre is aloof and standoffish. He doesn't like hugs and cuddles and while he likes to be in our company, he doesn't want to be up under us.
Last week, I ate something that disagreed with me, and have been sick to my stomach ever since. Even now, I have pains as if my stomach were cramping (about to go on a "colic drive" one of the few things that soothes my stomach once it flares up). This whole week, Sabre has been up close and up under me.
Now, I haven't had a problem with my stomach since last year, I don't think I have had a stomach attack since I got him in August.. So this is his first time experiencing this with me, I think.
It's just so odd to me, to have him curled up next to me, when that just isn't his style. I can tell that he's worried about me, because he knows that something just isn't right, and he wants to keep a close eye on me.
